Potential equalization Potential differences occur when devices are connected to different earths. These potential differences cause malfunctions. To prevent malfunctions, you have to route an equipotential equalization conductor. When doing so, bear in mind the following points: – Select an equipotential equalization conductor with low impedance. –...
4.2 Requirements The Gateway was designed for use in a control cabinet. ü The protection class of the control cabinet must be equivalent to at least IP54. ü For installation in the control cabinet you need a DIN rail 35 x 7.5 mm (EN50022).
4.3 Connecting Gateway Components In order to attain a fully functional gateway, you have to interconnect both gateway components. ◦ Connect an interconnect port to each gateway component using the plug-in jumper (product number PR100204). ◦ Illustration 6: Connecting gateway components ð...
4.4 Installing a Gateway in the Control Cabinet ◦ Hold the raster element of the gateway on the DIN rail. ◦ Press down the locking elements towards the gateway. ◦ Make sure that the gateway is firmly attached to the DIN rail. Gateway component Sercos 15 / 23...
4.5 Connecting a Power Supply To connect the gateway component to the power supply, you need a spring-loaded terminal (e.g. Metz-Connect SP995xxVBNC). You have to connect each gateway component separately to a power supply. Never interconnect functional earth and GND, otherwise the galvanic isolation between gateway GND and fieldbus ground will be removed.
5 Configuration 5.1 Supported Size of the Process Data The gateway component for SERCOS supports process data up to a length of 250 bytes per direction. Of these 250 bytes, 4 bytes of control data (for Connection Control and I/O-Control/status) are reserved. Bear in mind that the maximum length of the process data is always NOTICE determined by the fieldbus with the shorter data length.
